"i want to perform on stage"

that was yunseong's answer when he was asked why he wanted to enroll in pdx university.

yunseong loved dancing ever since he was a kid. its his dream to perform in front of a crowd. whenever there are programs in his school or in his family gatherings, he would always volunteer to dance. his parents were aware of his passion but at first they wanted him to take a medical course like minhee.

minhee grew up with parents who are both working in the medical field. when he was young, his dad would usually bring him to work because no one would watch him at home. this led him to witness whats it like being a doctor and those childhood experiences eventually inspired him to become one like his parents.

ever since they got close, the two never stop supporting each other in reaching their dreams. from yunseong helping minhee study for his exams to the latter promoting the former's crew whenever he gets the chance.

but of course, there'll come a time when you think that your dream is so hard to reach. there'll be obstacles stopping you from crossing the finish line and one of those obstalces just hit yunseong.

"the university is suffering financially.... and the head said that he n-needed to cut down the b-budget for our competition." yunseong explained after breaking down. "we m-might not be able to leave the c-city for the competition..."

minhee frowned, rubbing his back comfortably.

"but minhee.... it's unfair! we were halfway through the choreo and keumdong.....k-keumdong.." yunseong broke down again. ".......this was g-going to be his first time performing....he was so e-excited.."

minhee got his handkerchief and wiped his tears. "shhh.... just cry it all out... we'll think of something."

yunseong hugged minhee tightly, crying his eyes out. the taller didn't mind that his uniform was getting wet due to yunseong's tears. he was busy thinking of a way to solve this problem.

and then he felt a lightbulb pop out from the top of his head.

"due to financial problems, we might not be able to perform next month."

yunseong called the crew after he and minhee talked. the taller's idea is good—it might actually give them a chance compete but the thing is they have to sacrifice a lot for this: time, energy, effort, and money.

'curse this capitalism.' minhee thought.

"but" yunseong said after seeing their reactions. "minhee has a plan. take the floor, mini."

"thank you, hyung." minhee smiled and stood at the center of the studio. "okay so this plan will require a lot of energy and some money. since the university is short on dough, we have to fill in their gaps. i thought of putting up a small business that'll help you guys earn money for your budget."

hyeongjun raised his hand, "minhee, i have a question."

"yes hyeongjun?" minhee asked.

"how are we going to put up a small business? none of us are taking up business related courses and we don't have any experience in running one." hyeongjun stated.

"im glad you asked." minhee said, smiling. all of a sudden the door opened and two guys entered the studio.

"business major? check." minhee said and introduced the two. "this is lee eunsang, he's currently taking up business management and administration and the guy next to him is cha junho, his boyfriend, who doesn't really have an important role here."
